17. (26864-!-item-!-188;#058&003368)

At present the Hollywood Restaurant has onlystandard-height tables. However, manycustomers come to watch the celebrities who frequent the Hollywood

, and they would prefer tall tableswith stools because such seating would afford a better view of the celebrities. Moreover, diners seated on stools typicallydo not stay as long as diners seated at standard-height tables. Therefore, if the Hollywood replaced some of its seating withhigh tables and stools, its profits would increase.

The argument is vulnerable to criticism on thegrounds that it gives reason to believe that it is likely that

(A) some celebrities come to the Hollywood

to be seen, and so might choose tosit at the tall tables if they were available

(B) the price of meals ordered by celebritiesdining at the Hollywood

compensates for the longer time, if any, they spend lingering over their meals

(C) a customer of the Hollywood

who would choose to sit at a talltable would be an exception to the generalization about lingering

(D) a restaurant's customers who spend less timeat their meals typically order less expensive meals than those who remain attheir meals longer

(E) with enough tall tables to accommodate all theHollywood

'scustomers interested in such seating, there would be no view except of othertall tables

答案是C,理解不了，麻烦哪位NN解释一下。万分感激了！！，

如以前讨论过，麻烦哪位大侠给个链接，谢谢了。。。。。。

C说，来看明星的人选择高脚凳的和一般坐高脚凳的食客相比，是个例外，他们属于久坐不消费的人群~~~

这里我觉得 exception to the generalization about lingering这句比较难理解，应该理解为那些看明星坐高脚凳的人不是饭店设想的那些逗留时间较短的普通人，言下之意，可能一直坐着不消费，或者即使消费了，也不是预想的那样逗留时间短，而是为了看明星，一直坐着~~~
